Inconsistency & A Life Update!

2011-04-04T11:10:00.000-07:00

I never thought I would be so inconsistent in my life; I'm sorry about the whole lack of posts and for the 30 Day Challenge By KendiEveryday!!! I can honestly say I fail at this whole blogging thing! I'm not going to make up any excuses the truth is I didn't get a new camera unfortunately and the entire month I had gone no where and just got too lazy! Moving along I've just been under a lot of stress in my life these 8 months and it's honestly taken a toll on me! I've come to realize the people I thought would always be there for me deep inside can't stand me and lately all they've been doing is putting this negative energy around me and bringing out the worst in me... to be honest I don't like what I've become I feel so...I don't feel like me (...tears are streaming down my face right now). I always try to play it off like my life is good that every things perfect, but it's not everything is awful and hard, some days are good others are bad; I'm just trying to stay alive for tomorrow! I've taken up new interests and my family (strict) won't let me pursue them. They won't let me make my own way out. They want to lead me down their desired road and I'm getting so fed up! I've finally found a college here that doesn't need an Equivalency Certificate, so no more taking SAT II Tests, I've decided I'm going to study Digital Film and TV which in my opinion sounds rad I just hope my dad will be able to pay the tuition and he's not letting me down again (I've already missed a year of college)! God, I really hope everything works out as I want it to (sigh). As for anyone reading this I just want to say no matter how hard life gets it takes a while to get better and hopefully it will; God Willing that is. Just don't EVER give up :)!

Where to begin? Remix!

2011-02-01T11:43:00.000-08:00

Heyy!!! :D {I use exclamations loads}...A couple of days ago I signed up for the lovely Kendi Everyday 30 for 30 Closet Remix. When I signed up for the challenge my camera worked fine. I immediately got up and started thinking about and taking out my 30 pieces; {I was so ~~Excited~~} I took some pictures and so on. Obviously though my 30 garments were bound to be exchanged a {lot} few amount of times. I changed some things and when I went to take pictures again...of course my camera would flip out and malfunction on me! I really don't understand; I mean I apologized for dropping it a couple times “cough too many times cough”...and I promised I’d get it's eyes checked out {lens error}, but I haven’t even had time to get my own >oo< eyes checked out. I only have so much time...sigh! In general I'M A MESS! I'm going to try to fix that and my laziness and everything else in my life. In the meantime I found out my dads cousin who is like my uncle is having his wedding here {I had no idea} in two weeks and he might get me a new camera "hopefully"!!!

Back to the Kendi Everyday 30 for 30 Wardrobe Remix Challenge...Choosing the pieces was super hard: harder than that was taking pictures of each item. Yep, seriously some of the pieces I took pictures of look a lot better on. Makes me wonder if I had tried them on in the store…Do you? Whoever put the clothes on display was good. While I was picking my garments out I realized something. What I grasped was I had no skirts< absolutely nada and only one dress which was a gift {whoever gave it to me was probably trying to give me a hint...years later hahaaaa :( "I {finally} get it"}. I can't believe it I mean maybe it's because I've always had an issue with my legs, but whatever that was then this is now! After the challenge is over I'm so going to purchase some cute skirts, dresses, and maybe some fun colored leggings?! I've already started seeing results by eating healthier and portioning my meals. Further results once I work on my sleeping habits and exercise routine: I wish it was as easy to do as it is to say.

Random, but I have an issue with my blog name I’m not a fan of it! I want something that says something about me…something clever…hmmm… and to needs to be so SOOO good that my “super indecisive self” likes it enough not to change the name EVER again. Sorry, about that! Here are the rules to the Challenge:

1. Pick 30 items or less from your closet. Shoes are included, but accessories and jewelry are not.
2. Remix the 30 items into 30 different outfits.
That's it! Well, not entirely so..
3. Don't shop for 30 days.

Feel free to join: I’d love to see what your creative mind comes up with. Honestly, everyone is so different it’s nice to see how people play with pieces it’s so “Fresh." Different takes on clothes from different people from all walks of life gives me fun/new ideas to add to spice up my daily tedious routine. If I weren’t doing this challenge my outfit would be almost identical every time I go out. Sad, I know! From this challenge I look forward to finding new methods to mixing & matching my wardrobe. OMG especially the pieces that I still have price tags on or the ones I never wear… I’m not a very big accessory fan. I never know what jewelry, scarves, etc., to wear with what; that’s another thing I look forward too…finally finding out! Due to my camera I‘m going to start the Wardrobe Challenge in about another week! Quite irritating that I won’t start with everyone else boo…Better late than never I guess! To all those that have started Good Luck and let the magic begin!!! Have Fun!!!

Our Silly Life...

2011-01-25T10:28:00.000-08:00

I'm not Perfect; at least when I used to think about it before I wasn't. Now, I changed my train of thought and you know what I like me and I'm Perfect just the way I am... You're all Perfect the way you are, don't let anyone convince you otherwise! The toughest critic in our lives is ourselves. The people that care won't try to change you, because to them the way you are is what makes you perfect. We all make mistakes go down a wrong road or two...or more, that doesn't make us not perfect that makes us human, just like everybody else. Don't ever doubt yourself because you're truly capable of everything and achieving anything, nothing is impossible no matter what or who you are! Whenever you get stuck and say this is impossible remember the word itself is telling you I'm possible! Go after your dreams and remember love is all around you and you're not nothing you're definitely something :). Leaving you off with a song that I've had on replay.... :-D!!! Sorry, in advance about the cuss word.

P!nk

Fuckin' Perfect Lyrics

Made a wrong turn

Once or twice

Dug my way out

Blood and fire

Bad decisions

That's alright

Welcome to my silly life

Mistreated this place

Misunderstood

Miss knowing it's all good

It didnt slow me down.

Mistaking

Always second guessing

Underestimating

Look I'm still around

Pretty, pretty please

Dont you ever, ever feel

Like you're less than

Fucking perfect

Pretty, pretty please

If you ever, ever feel

Like you're nothing

You're fucking perfect to me

You're so mean

When you talk

About yourself, you were wrong

Change the voices in your head

Make them like you instead

So complicated

Look how we all make it

Filled with so much hatred

Such a tired game

It's enough

I've done all I can think of

Chased down all my demons

I've seen you do the same

Pretty, pretty please

Dont you ever, ever feel

Like you're less than

Fucking perfect

Pretty, pretty please

If you ever, ever feel

Like you're nothing

You're fucking perfect to me

The whole worlds scared

So I swallow the fear

The only thing I should be drinking

Is an ice cold beer

So cool in line

And we try, try, try

But we try too hard

And it's a waste of my time

Done looking for the critics

Cause they're everywhere

They don't like my jeans

They don't get my hair

Exchange ourselves

And we do it all the time

Why do we do that?

Why do I do that?

Yeeeeaaaahhh

Oooooooh

Oh baby pretty please

Pretty, pretty please

Dont you ever ever feel

Like you're less than

Fucking perfect

Pretty, pretty please

If you ever, ever feel

Like you're nothing

You're fucking perfect to me

You're perfect, You're perfect

Pretty, pretty please

Don't you ever, ever feel

Like youre less than

Fucking Perfect

Pretty, pretty please

If you ever, ever feel

Like you're nothing

You are perfect to me...

When all is going wrong...Dance!

Hey Ya'll :D (I'm just a chatting away today) {I sound so country hehe :)}

You know what's annoying? When your life get's completely pulled out from under you and you feel the only option you have to cherry-pick from is that which you don't want to make! We've all been there! I don't feel it is fair that sometimes we have no choice in where life takes us... Therefore, for all those that are in a bad "kick something kind of mood":..

Like I am at the moment.
{"The camera don't lie. You're coming back down and you really don't mind, you had a bad day"
-Daniel Powter}

... try to make the best of the day! Don't cry: "Life is a dance floor. You get what you're given...it's all how you use it"-PINK. Focus on making the best of what you have and chase after your dreams...there's only one life to live don't waste it wishing on the stars rather I hope you choose to dance {read below for explanation}! I know sometimes we don't think we have any opportunities, but if you look closely you'll notice a lot of doors are open. We are just too "busy" to notice them. I want to leave you off with these beautiful words that I hope you take to heart <3

Lee Ann Womack

"I Hope You Dance"

"I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat

But always keep that hunger

May you never take one single breath for granted

God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small

When you stand by the ocean

Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens

Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

Never settle for the path of least resistance

Living might mean taking chances

But they're worth taking

Lovin' might be a mistake

But it's worth making

Don't let some hell bent heart

Leave you bitter

When you come close to selling out

Reconsider

Give the heavens above

More than just a passing glance!"

Get Up & Carpe Diem My Lovelies!

On The Go! FOTD: Fast & Natural Looking Makeup

2011-01-17T13:51:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone!!!

I hope you've all been doing well :-D. So, {... I always start a sentence with "so" :( I need to use my transitions...}. Anyways, I'm definitely trying to be more consistent with this blogging thing! I was going to do makeup videos etc. for youtube, but my current room/camera situation doesn't work well and I'm not like an expert on makeup... for that matter I'll just do FOTD pictures instead. Here's my FOTD; it was just a super simple and natural makeup look:

Go below to see the products I used and how I achieved it :)...

I always do that with my lips I haven't the slightest idea why: my mom and sister hate it...Oops... From a lack of sleep my eyes have gotten more puffy... I used Almay Foundation as an under-eye concealer {I'm running out of actual concealer..} I kinda like it more than concealer though... I got it for a buck at the Dollar Store {I love that place}!!!

To achieve this look you can use any products you want I'm just telling you what I used :)

Products Used:

Almay Pure Blends 97.4% Natural Foundation in Naked Nu

{dotted & blended under the eyes "only on the dark circles" and on blemishes}

Dollar Store Black Eyeliner

{Outer corner to where you notice the lashes begin}

Maybelline Define-A-Lash:

{barely put any on because I was going for a more natural look... concentrated it on roots & slightly on tips}

CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain in shade #440

{On lips and cheeks; I put it on my finger then kept gradually adding it on}

That's it! Super easy and Super fast for anyone on the go :D

More posts to come hopefully; any makeup looks/requests you'd like me to do?

May fun-filled and happy days be in store for you...

Big OXOX!!!

2011-01-09T04:10:00.000-08:00

So, out with the old and in with the new; I changed my hair color!!! Which do you think is better, or do you a recommend a different color?

Before I went to the salon my hair was a dark auburn ( Garnier Nutrisse Shade)

Afterwards it was a well I'll post the picture because I'm the worst at explaining the base color hehe!

The color looks lighter than this... my hair is full of Platinum Highlights now :D.

Some Things About Me:

I have fair skin.

Pink Undertones

Cool Skin Tone {at least that's what I've been told}

Brown/Hazel Eyes

That's about it I believe :D
OxOx Love Ya'll!

New, New, New...Who Knew?

2011-01-06T08:56:00.000-08:00

Hey Dolls, I hope you're all enjoying the New Year... So, what's new with you all??? I'm gonna start by mentioning that I'm probably the worst blogger ever... SORRY! I know I haven't blogged in what feels like centuries :(, but I promise to change that soon; as soon as I find my camera cord that is hahaha! I hope you've all had a great Christmas/Holiday Season/Break/ and New Year :D! I hope this year turns out great for everybody!!! I also honestly hope you all accomplish you're New Year Resolutions whatever they may be; Good Luck! I've already made some changes and I'm pretty excited... Hopefully the rest of the year is as good.

To start off I finally "FINALLY" (Hallelujah) for the first time ever went to a salon and actually trusted someone with my hair. That's like a major accomplishment already because I am the biggest chicken when it comes to major changes and trusting people. At the salon I went and got it colored and highlighted and it's different! Before my hair was like a dark auburn and after I left it was Idk she mixed a couple colors to get the base color and it's kinda a brownish/auburnish/orangish color (that sounds so weird I know) with loads of platnium highlights. It was such a change like major! I'd upload pics, but I can't find my camera cord :(! As soon as I do I will def. upload pics. though. It's quite funny because I went in there with like 4-5 different hair color ideas and what I ended up with was almost like....Not sure if any of you watched Ghost Whisperer? The end result of my hair was somewhat like Jennifer Love Hewitt's character Melinda's hair. This is hilarious because I watch that show like crazy and everytime I'm like "OMGOMGOMG" I loooove her hair; she's an absolutely Gorgeous Lady :D! So, the fact that my stylist did my hair fairly like her's is kind of funny to me; I can't believe I didn't think of it myself! Do you have any of those "Why didn't I think of that" days? I definitely do and I have "lOaDs..." of them.

What else is new? Well... since I'm "missing" a year of college I might just take like a course in something I'm not sure what though? I mean I'm not just going to sit and do absolutely nothing. I was thinking maybe a makeup course because I feel like I have so much to learn and it's just so much fun; but I'm not sure yet... maybe. In the meantime I've been looking for acting gigs where I live, but I haven't found any unfortunately. Wow, I can't even stress how much I love acting; I did a play my last year of High School and it was such an amazing experience. I'm so happy I had the opportunity to play a role in it considering I was such a novice and I had never tried out for anything before. I had no idea what to do I'm so thankful for everyone that helped me. The feeling is indescribable I remember getting so nervous when my lines were coming up I'd start to repeat them in my head and double check, and then I'd get on stage and snap I'd just become the character and I'd completely forget I was acting. If I regret anything at all...it is that I didn't do more in High School. I wish I had tried out for more plays and done more activities because it's not only an amazing experience, but you get to meet absolutely wonderful people along the way!

Moving on I'm re-organizing and decorating my room which is fun because I feel like even though it's so full of color it's kind of boring as well! Ooh, and I found this quote by Paris Hilton (insert--Did you know her natural eye color is brown? I never ever knew that. I thought her eyes were really blue) “The only rule is don't be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.” I couldn't agree more; life really is quite short and this year it is time for me to stop letting myself down to please others, time for me to state my own opinions and express myself as I please. So, this year I'm going to take fashion up a notch (hopefully), I'm going to do what I want to do, and I'm going to be fearless. Most importantly I'm going to be myself and be honest because if I've learned anything at all over the years it's that honesty is always the best way to go in everything. I mean I know sometimes we think telling a white lie is better, but I guess it depends on the situation. I am saying that I am going to try to be more honest than I already am.

Holy Cow this is getting way too long I think I'm going to cut it right here lol I always say this :O and then I start blabbing even more oops? "Sorry :D"... Since I'm talking about change and all I thought I'd share with you a blogger that I've been following for quite some time now. Let me start by saying how sweet and absoulutely beautiful she is; I love her fashion sense; and lately she's been doing a Create A Working Closet series posts. I definitely recommend the series for anybody wanting to re-organize and do like a major renovation clothes thing etc..., and I also Absolutely Positively recommend her blog. I seriously love her outfit posts soooo much... very cute.... I completely forget to mention her name: Kendi! Here's a link to her lovely blog http://kendieveryday.blogspot.com/... Signing off! I hope you all have an Amazing fun-filled Beyoutiful day! OxOx, Roxy (I know it's xoxo, but.. I like hugs hehe) Big Hugs :)!!!

My Nails of The Week: NOTW or however long....

2010-08-25T10:38:00.000-07:00

I did my nails :D they didn't take long except the darn thumb, but after a couple tries I was happy with it! I don't know why I did them all differently? The thumb and middle finger were inspired by a corset! The rest were all silly doodles. The last one looks weird at least I seem to think so...I need new nail polish! If you have any questions feel free to ask

Xoxo Lovelies,

I actually have very dark under eye circles. The concealer did me some good compared to others I've tried. One thing though is that you have to be careful when applying powder; don't over do powder or it will crease. As for the complete coverage, your likely to get better coverage if you apply foundation under the eyes; when doing the face; then the concealer with a concealer brush. I don't really wear foundation much so I need something that can stand tall alone. I also recommend tilting your head in front of mirror and only covering up they eye area where you see the dark circles; which will give you better results. It lasts pretty long and blends well, and somewhat brightens the under eye. The highlighter is really nice as well:; it's not shimmery, yet still gives off a nice glow. If, you know a product that works well for concealing dark circles please do tell!
